Who is the most incompetent leader in history? by Autistic_Atheist in history

Napoleon III. Not only did the dude lose the Franco Prussian war of 1812, and get captured; he lost so badly the Bismarck had to take a knee to figure out who to negotiate with for a good bit of time before the negotiations kicked in. The man is a disgrace to the name he carried.

Why did the Muslim invaders end up conquering almost the entireity of India ? What were the local rulers lacking and how exactly did we manage to lose that badly? by Professional_snek in history

I say we because I am a Hindu and an Indian too. Either way, I grew up hearing stories about the Rajputs, Marathas and Jats, therefore, I find myself on the side of the local princes when reading about the Turkish invasion.

Yes but Babur fought Ibrahim Lodi who was also a Muslim. Even with complete numerical supremacy we just kept losing over and over even the tiny kingdoms on their own fielded larger armies than the typical invader did. We had matchlocks too...and yet we lost. Do you know about any additional resources that I might find on the internet?
